In his Christmas message to the nation, Sir Keir Starmer asks people to “get back in touch with those who might find the time of year difficult. Check in on a friend or a relative who you haven’t heard from for a while. Reach out. It can make a huge difference.”
Admirable sentiments. However, it seems that many of those who voted to put him in power at the last general election might quite like the prime minister to also get back in touch with them, as they are finding life under a Labour government more difficult than they hoped, as indeed is Sir Keir himself.
